Biography
Christine Barwick is a sociologist, focussing on migration and mobilities. She is particularly interested in the second generation, thus the descendants of immigrants who came to Western Europe in the 1960s/1970s. Christine studied social sciences at Humboldt University and wrote her thesis in sociology at the same university. Her dissertation dealt with social mobility and neighborhood choice of second generation Turkish-Germans in Berlin and was awarded multiple prizes, such as the dissertation prize of the Section Urban and Regional Sociology (part of the German Sociological Association) and the Hartmut-Häußermann-Prize ‘Social City’. Before she joined the Centre Marc Bloch, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for European Studies at Sciences Po Paris. She is part of the project group ‚What is governed in the large metropolis? Comparing Paris and London‘, directed by Prof. Patrick Le Galès. As part of the project, she analyzed intra-European mobility of French and British expats. Moreover, she created a database about the political and administrative elites in Paris from 1995-2015, to analyze who governs the cities. She therefore performs network analysis across time and agencies. Her research at the Centre Marc Bloch focuses on new mobilities of the Turkish and Italian second generation in various European cities. During her studies, Christine spent two years in New York City, at the New School for Social Research and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. At the Centre Marc Bloch is co-director of the research group ‘Place, mobility, migration’. She also serves in the board of the Section Migration and Ethnic Minorities (German Sociological Association), of which she is the vice-spokesperson, and the editorial board of the Journal of Undergraduate Ethnography.
